Quick update I have been testing every hour since i got them and the Nitrite is still 0, though my ammonia test is now finished so I am not sure what that is at the mo! I will order a new kit early next week when I get paid! So I will try and get to the fish shop once a day to get ammonia tested as its either 50p or free depending on who I see! so a couple of quid aint too bad!! But I am going to use Nitrite as a kind of warning facility at this stage!!
All fish seem to be doing ok! they are starting to move to th middle of the tank now! How long should i leave these guys on there own before I would contemplate shrimp? I was thinking 2-4 weeks to get the filter a bit more matture then I should be ok to go ahead and add the little critters!!
